Betty was one of a kind! For 30 years she was my mother in law and I will hold on to all the wonderful memories we made. Life is full of mountain tops and deep valleys. It will be the mountain top memories I will cherish. The valleys were very few.
I am lifting all her family in prayer for peace and comfort.
I will, forever, consider you all as my family.
Rest in peace now, Betty. I truly loved you and you will be missed.
